    Default Confused about the EU? Perhaps this will help.

    Stumbled across this earlier...well, no, not really. I'm subscribed to this guy. I find him to be hilarious and informative.







    Thoughts? Any European Union members wish to point out any factual errors? I'm curious.

    Well, Madeira and the Azores weren't exactly colonies... nor were the Canary Islands. But I mean, that's a very straight video on the EU, I'd be shocked if someone who is European doesn't know about that.

    Who says it's for Europeans? It's for Americans (like me) and non-Europeans that do not understand this confusing system (though I did know a fair amount of this. It's when the asterisks kick in that I was confused lol

    It did say why it's a good idea for Ireland to become part of Schengen

    Pretty good. He just should swear in 1 or 2 places to also show that it doesn't really work
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I am me. You are not me. You are you. If I was you, I wouldn't be me.
    If you were me, I'd be sad.But I wouldn't then be me because you'd be me so you wouldn't be me because I wasn't me because you were me but you couldn't be because I'd be a different me. I'd rather be any kind of bird (apart from a goose) than be you because to be you I'd have to not be me which I couldn't do unless someone else was me but then they would be you aswell so there would still be no me. They would be you because I was you so to restore balance you would have to be me and them meaning all three of us would become one continously the same. That would be very bad.

    Now there's where Illuminati come in!
    I am going to make a bloody (ah man, I bloody love this word which can be used to express things like ********** without being censored) thread in the Political Mudpit of why is Globalisation bad and why is Nationalism good (don't mess it with Fascist Nationalism).
    You are all welcome to argue with some bloody guys who don't agree with you. This is how Internet basically works. This... and kittens!
